4V6 – stateless 4Via6 http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-dec-stateless-4v6 W. Dec (wdec@cisco.com) R. Asati (rajiva@cisco.com) C. Bao(congxiao@cernet.edu.cn) H. Deng (denghui@chinamobile.com)
Introduction • Motivation for stateless solutions can be found in: draft-operators-softwire-stateless-4v6-motivation • A number of stateless solutions have been proposed. • 4rd, 4v6 (encapsulated or translated mode) • dIVI-PD (translated mode) • These stateless solutions have shared characteristics; commonly termed stateless 4V6. • Main differences lies in algorithm and form of transport: v4-v6 Mapped-Encapsulation or v4-v6 Translation • This presentation focuses on the operational considerations of Stateless4V6 and its forms of transport • It also looks at the 4V6 impact when applied to wider industry standard architectures
4V6 IPv6 Address • CE IPv6 subnet is assigned announced via DHCPv6-PD or RA (/64) • This is NOT in addition to another PD or RA prefix • 4V6 index encodes all or part of the IPv4 address + a port index.

Operation4V6 in a 3GPP system • 3GPP system functionality is defined to support an extensive set of IP network service requirements, • Eg Per subscriber QoS, charging, data volume plans. • System is in common deployment. IPv6 fully supported in Release 8/9 • Key functionality is the representation and signaling across various interfaces of the user’s virtual connection (Bearer). This is specified in terms of IP Filters. • 3GPP currently defines IPv4 & IPv6 traffic filters. • No clearly defined way how to represent IPv4inIPv6 traffic *alongside* regular IPv6 traffic. • Possible options are an additional (default) bearer (ie additional session), or a new bearer type.
Operation4V6 in a PCMM system • Cable Labs
Conclusion • No critical technical issues with 4V6 and either the 4V6 mapped-tunnel or translation based modes • Both approaches represent valid choices • Translated (non encapsulated) transport appears to be operationally less impactful to broader systems and services • Re-uses native IPv6 network features and system interfaces • Does not require numerous IPv4 extensions to standard architectures that already support IPv6 • Operational impact of both approaches should be documented and trade-offs outlined/clarified.
